The attributes of God

0 Conversations

Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth..." (Genesis 1:26)

The attributes of God are numerous and can be found in the Torah (Old Testament), Gospel and Qur'an, as well as other Scriptures. We can comprehend these attributes, as God has taught us by the pen that we are 'like Him', as shown in the above verse of the Bible.

An example of an attribute would be The Almighty, as in Almighty God.

The Most Beautiful Names of Allah

Allah literally means The God translated from arabic, as opposed to 'a god' which means 'deity worthy of worship'. He is also importantly known as The One.

There are 99 different
attributes or names of God mentioned in the Qur'an, and you can find them here at

> Names of God in the Qur'an < in the wikipedia.


If we revealed this Qur'an to a mountain, you would see it trembling, crumbling, out of reverence for God.

We cite these examples for the people, that they may reflect.



The God is He, other than Whom there is no other god;

Who knows both what is hidden and what can be witnessed;

He is the Most Compassionate and Merciful.

The God is He, other than Whom there is no other god;

the Sovereign, the One, the Source of Peace,

the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Security,

the Exalted, the Compelling, the Supreme.

Glory be to God, beyond any associations.

He is the God, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Form.

To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names;

Whatever exists in heaven and earth declares His Glory, and He is Exalted in Power, the Wise.
Al-Hashr 21-24
